Virtual Learning Environments: A Look into the Future
Terry L. Herman, Professor; Melanie Alt, Graduate Student; Daniel Lemmerbrock, Graduate Student; Christopher Pappas, Graduate Student; Todd Pavlack, Graduate Student; Christopher Pittman, Graduate Student; and Mark Stevens, Graduate Student / Bowling Green State University

Graduate students were presented with a quest to explore Second Life as an emerging learning environment. Two teams of students were charged with researching and developing a new style of virtual learning space for the future. The teams explored what makes a good virtual learning space, and why, through literature reviews, interviews of Second Life learning space designers, and research of other available virtual learning spaces. The results were two innovative presentations delivered through the medium they were researching. Participants in this session will receive two presentation handouts and engage in a lively discussion of virtual learning environments.
